Question to You Guys: What Do You THINK is the Main Driver for Muscle Growth?

“I YouTubed it” :joy::joy::joy:

What i learned is what I thought was a hard said was a moderate set, what i thought a failure set was a hard set. If you can do another set after a failure set you did it wrong. Easy, moderate, hard failure should be way harder than ppl think. They might do 2-4 easy and moderate sets to get to hard and failure sets and add in grip changes or intensity techniques and it gets harder.

I wasn’t suggesting that he was training in the most optional way.

Well, his results are pretty intoxicating though

That all just comes down to rest, right? Certain exercises and types of sets are also part of the equation. Sure if you do an all out 20 rep breathing squat set you won’t be ready to go again in 90 seconds, but I bet if you wait 15 minutes you could (not at the same effort or quality, but you could squat again)

Beyond the dead and squat, most exercises just aren’t demanding enough to exhaust you so badly that a 10/10 set will leave you unable to do another set after a solid 5 minute rest. Again, you might not achieve the same number of reps, but you can definitely do another set.

This doesn’t get into whether you SHOULD, but With enough rest it’s possible

You’re saying this is just one guy that’s done this?

Have you been living under a f’n rock or are you that willingly ignorant?

I was just being feceious.

It is interesting that his recommendations are almost exactly as my own.

1 set to failure - 6-10 reps

This is exactly what PC has been emphasising. Natty or not, the training principle doesn’t change. 1 set to failure. 6-10 reps.

why is that? please don’t bash him. I am looking to learn legitatemly why people look like they don’t lift even when spending a decade under the bar?

I feel there is no nice way for me to answer your question, however I’m confident a quick Google search and a little critical thinking will go a long way to help.

A more important answer though is that if you, personally, spend a decade under the bar putting in reasonable effort, with reasonable nutrition and a reasonable plan, you will look like you lift.

He may have spent a decade under the bar, but he did not spend that decade training with any reasonable degree of intensity or compliance.

If you phone it in for a decade, you get those kind of results.

how can he deadlift 500lbs, ohp 225lbs for reps without training with intensity? surely there must be some to achieve those strength levels?

Why do you believe he can do those things?
